1. Project Understanding

Q: Can you briefly explain the project you worked on during

your internship?
Answer Tip:

"I worked on testing a Zomato-like web application for online food

and event booking. My responsibility was to ensure functional
correctness, UI/UX consistency, and overall software quality by
executing test cases and reporting bugs."

2. Functional Testing

Q: What is functional testing? Why did you choose it over other

types of testing like non-functional or exploratory?
Answer Tip:

Functional testing ensures that each function of the software operates

according to the requirements. It was chosen because the primary goal
was to validate core app features like search, booking, payments,
and order tracking.

Q: How did you create your functional test cases?

Based on requirement documents, use cases, and user stories from

the development team. Used tools like Excel/TestRail to document
them.

3. UI/UX Consistency Testing

Q: What does UI/UX consistency mean, and why is it important?

It ensures a seamless, predictable user experience. For example,
button placements, font sizes, color themes, and navigation should
be uniform across pages.

Q: Why test UI/UX manually and not just automate?

Manual testing helps detect subjective or visual inconsistencies

better. Automation tools can't easily validate color mismatches or
inconsistent icons unless explicitly coded.

4. Regression Testing

Q: What is regression testing? Why was it necessary in your

project?

Regression testing ensures that new code changes do not break

existing functionality. This was critical because the app frequently
added new modules (like event booking).

Q: Did you automate any regression tests? Why or why not?

If not automated: "Due to time constraints and changing UI, manual

regression was more practical at that stage."

5. Bug Reporting

Q: What bug reporting tools did you use? Why that specific one?

Common tools: JIRA, Bugzilla, Trello, GitHub Issues

"We used JIRA for its integration with Agile boards, priority
tagging, and developer assignment features."

Q: Why did you report 500+ bugs? Is that a positive or a

negative?
Positive. It shows attention to detail and system-level
understanding. The high number also indicated that the app was
evolving rapidly, so testing was critical.

6. Test Case Management

Q: Why did you write 200+ test cases? Is that overkill?

No. The app had multiple workflows (food ordering, event booking,
payment, notifications), and each had positive and negative
scenarios.

Q: What tools or methods did you use to manage test cases?

Spreadsheets or tools like TestLink, TestRail, or Excel. Organized

by modules, with clear steps, expected outputs, and status fields.

7. Technologies Used

Q: What technologies were involved in this app? Did you interact

with any backend/frontend elements?

Likely stack:

 Frontend: HTML/CSS/JavaScript, React

 Backend: Node.js/PHP, MySQL
 Testing: JIRA, Selenium (if automated), Postman (for APIs)

"I interacted mainly with frontend UIs and API endpoints for input
validation, data flow, and error messages."

8. Novelty & Real-Time Usage

Q: What was novel about your work or the project?

 Dual booking system for food and events in one interface.

  Reusable test cases across modules.
 Real-time feedback loops with devs to improve test
coverage.
 Bug heatmap to prioritize fixes.

Q: How does this app solve a real-world problem?

People often need to order food while booking events, especially for
corporate or social gatherings. One unified app increases
convenience and efficiency.

9. Why Testing? Why Not Development?

Q: Why did you choose QA over development for your

internship?

"QA gave me a system-wide view of how different modules integrate

and behave under different inputs. It sharpened my debugging, logic,
and communication skills."

10. Improvements

Q: If you had more time, what would you improve in your testing
process?

 Automate regression suite with Selenium or Cypress

 Use API testing with Postman
 Set up continuous integration testing pipeline

✅ Project Overview

Title: AI-Powered Diabetes Prediction System

Summary: Built a web app using Logistic Regression to predict diabetes from medical data.
Deployed with Flask, achieving ~95% accuracy under certain configurations. Real-time
diagnosis enabled via a web interface.

🔍 INTERVIEW QUESTIONS + DETAILED ANSWERS

⚙️1. Model Selection: Logistic Regression

Q: Why Logistic Regression? Why not Random Forest, SVM, or Neural Networks?

✅ Reasons you chose Logistic Regression:

  It's interpretable, especially useful in medical diagnosis.
 Works well for binary classification (diabetes: yes/no).
 Fast to train and doesn't need huge computational resources.
 Easy to regularize and tune.
 Good performance with normalized and linearly separable data.

📌 Why not other models?

 SVM: Good, but harder to interpret and sensitive to noise.

 Random Forest: Better accuracy sometimes but slower inference and less
explainable.
 Neural Networks: Overkill for small datasets; needs more tuning and compute.
 For this dataset (PIMA Indian Diabetes), logistic regression gives competitive results
with low complexity.

🧪 2. Data Processing

Q: What kind of data preprocessing did you do?

 Standardization: Used StandardScaler() to normalize features like glucose, BMI,

etc.
 Upsampling: The original dataset had class imbalance (non-diabetic > diabetic).
You used resample() to balance the dataset.
 Polynomial Features: Added higher-order interaction terms to improve model
performance using PolynomialFeatures(degree=n).

📌 Why StandardScaler?

 Logistic Regression assumes features are on the same scale; otherwise, coefficients
become misleading.

📌 Why upsampling?

 Prevents the model from biasing toward the majority class (Outcome = 0).
 Achieved more balanced accuracy (~71% → ~78%) after upsampling.

🧠 3. Feature Engineering

Q: Why did you use PolynomialFeatures?

 To capture non-linear relationships among variables (e.g., Glucose × BMI).

 Increased feature space from 8 → 45 dimensions.
 Improved training accuracy to ~78%.
📌 Tradeoff: Slight decrease in test accuracy due to overfitting risk, but can be handled with
regularization.

🧪 4. Evaluation

Q: How did you evaluate your model? Why K-Fold Cross-Validation?

 Used K-Fold Cross Validation (cross_val_score) to test model stability across

different data splits.
 Evaluated on training, validation, and test sets.
 Achieved up to 78.5% validation accuracy on polynomial-balanced data.

📌 Why K-Fold?

 More reliable than a single train-test split.

 Reduces variance in performance metrics.

🌐 5. Deployment with Flask

Q: Why Flask? Why not Django or FastAPI?

✅ Flask Advantages:

 Lightweight and easy for single-page apps.

 Quick to set up endpoints for real-time predictions.
 Easier to integrate with ML models (just call Python functions inside routes).

📌 Django: Too heavyweight for a simple diagnostic tool.

📌 FastAPI: Fast, but Flask has broader community support and tutorials for beginners.

📲 6. Real-Time Usage

Q: How does this project apply to real-world scenarios?

 Doctors or patients can input basic medical data and get an instant diabetes risk
assessment.
 Could be used in rural clinics or mobile health camps with limited infrastructure.
 Adds value by providing early warnings and reducing manual diagnosis time.

🔍 7. Novelty and Improvements

Q: What makes your project unique or innovative?

 Combined ML + web deployment for healthcare—a full-stack solution.

 Integrated data balancing + polynomial feature mapping for improved accuracy.
 Targeted interpretability and real-time accessibility.

Q: What would you improve if given more time?

 Add model explainability (e.g., SHAP or LIME).

 Compare multiple models (Random Forest, XGBoost).
 Enable user authentication and history logging.
 Deploy to cloud (Heroku, AWS, or Render) for broader access.

 Uses Deep Learning, NLP, and deployed via Streamlit
🎯 INTERVIEW QUESTION BREAKDOWN WITH ANSWERS (Future-
Oriented)

🧱 1. What is this project about and why are you building it?

“SANA is an AI-based TTS system that takes English input and speaks it out in different
Indian languages, preserving the voice characteristics of a particular speaker (e.g., a young
Tamil female or an elderly Bengali male). It aims to enable hyper-personalized voice output
for accessibility, regional content creation, and assistive tech.”

🌐 2. What technologies are you planning to use and why?

Component Planned Technology Why?

Fast prototyping, Python-friendly,

Voice Speaker Encoder (e.g., SV2TTS,

To retain age/gender/accent info
Cloning/Embedding Resemblyzer)

Deployment Local, Docker, or Streamlit Cloud Scalable and quick to test

🤔 3. Why not other technologies?

 Why not Flask/Django?

Streamlit is easier for rapid ML UI without worrying about front-end design.
 Why not Google TTS or Amazon Polly?
They don’t offer deep customization like preserving speaker voice, emotional tone,
or language mix. Your model focuses on personalized synthesis.

🧪 4. How are you planning to preserve speaker-specific characteristics (age,

gender, accent)?

“We plan to use speaker embedding models (like speaker encoders) to extract unique vocal
traits and condition them into the TTS pipeline. This means when the model synthesizes
speech, it mimics a target speaker profile.”
📌 Inspiration: SV2TTS architecture, Resemblyzer, MetaVoice, or YourTTS

🔄 5. What is the novelty in your project?

“Most current TTS systems convert text to speech in one standard voice per language. Our
novelty is in personalizing the voice by adjusting age, gender, and regional accent – and
doing so across multiple Indian languages, which is rare.”

Unique Aspects:

 Multilingual + multi-voice
 Cross-language + speaker-aware synthesis
 Useful for dubbing, storytelling, accessibility

⚙️6. What’s your current progress or next steps?

“We’re currently setting up the pipeline. We are:

 Collecting multilingual datasets

 Experimenting with Tacotron 2 + HiFi-GAN
 Building a basic Streamlit interface for proof of concept
 Integrating simple speaker embedding model (Resemblyzer)”

🧠 7. Real-World Use Cases

 Education: Personalized TTS tutors for regional language learners

 Content Creation: Multilingual voiceovers for YouTube, audiobooks
 Healthcare: Custom voices for patients with speech impairments
 Government/NGOs: Outreach in local languages, with familiar voices
 Accessibility: For visually impaired users in their native accents

📈 8. What datasets are you planning to use?

“We’re considering open datasets like:

 LJSpeech (for English training)

 IndicTTS or OpenSLR (for Indian languages)
 Common Voice by Mozilla (for diverse speakers)
 Our own dataset for voice profiles if needed”
🧪 9. How do you measure the quality of your TTS output?

 Objective metrics:
o MOS (Mean Opinion Score)
o Word Error Rate (WER)
o Speaker similarity score using cosine similarity
 Subjective testing:
o Listening tests with human raters on clarity, naturalness, and similarity

🎯 Project Title: Classification of Breast Cancer Risk Levels

Objective:
To build and validate a multi-class classifier (Low, Medium, High risk) for breast cancer
assessment using the Metabric Breast Cancer dataset, applying SVM and XGBoost, and
achieving 97% accuracy.

🔍 INTERVIEW-STYLE QUESTIONS + ANSWERS

🧠 1. What is this project about?

“The goal was to predict breast cancer risk level (low, medium, high) based on patient data
from the Metabric dataset. This helps doctors prioritize treatment plans and manage care
more effectively.”

🧪 2. Which algorithms did you use and why?

🔹 A. Support Vector Machine (SVM)

 Why SVM?
o Performs well on small to medium-sized datasets.
o Good at handling high-dimensional data.
o Effective in non-linear classification using kernel tricks.
o Robust to overfitting when using proper regularization.
 Why not KNN or Naive Bayes?
o KNN is sensitive to scaling, suffers in high dimensions.
o Naive Bayes assumes feature independence, which isn’t true in medical data.
 Kernel Used: Radial Basis Function (RBF) for non-linearity.

🔹 B. XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting)

 Why XGBoost?
o Among the most powerful and popular ensemble methods.
 oHandles missing data, outliers, and imbalanced data well.
oGradient boosting builds trees that learn from previous errors.
oParallelizable, making it faster and scalable.
 Why not Random Forest or AdaBoost?
o XGBoost is usually faster and more accurate than AdaBoost.
o Random Forest averages trees; XGBoost boosts them sequentially for better
optimization.

✅ Combining SVM + XGBoost allows you to benchmark classic ML vs advanced ensemble

🎯 Project Title: Classification of Breast Cancer Risk Levels

Objective:
To build and validate a multi-class classifier (Low, Medium, High risk) for breast cancer
assessment using the Metabric Breast Cancer dataset, applying SVM and XGBoost, and
achieving 97% accuracy.

🔍 INTERVIEW-STYLE QUESTIONS + ANSWERS

🧠 1. What is this project about?

“The goal was to predict breast cancer risk level (low, medium, high) based on patient data
from the Metabric dataset. This helps doctors prioritize treatment plans and manage care
more effectively.”

🧪 2. Which algorithms did you use and why?

🔹 A. Support Vector Machine (SVM)

 Why SVM?
o Performs well on small to medium-sized datasets.
o Good at handling high-dimensional data.
o Effective in non-linear classification using kernel tricks.
o Robust to overfitting when using proper regularization.
 Why not KNN or Naive Bayes?

Here is a detailed, interview-ready analysis of your project:

🌴 A Deep Learning Approach for Red Palm Weevil Detection

Objective:
Develop a dual-modal system that detects Red Palm Weevil (RPW) infestations using both:

 YOLOv11 for image-based detection (96% accuracy)

 CNN-based acoustic model for sound detection (97% accuracy)

🔍 INTERVIEW QUESTIONS & COMPLETE ANSWERS

🧠 1. What is this project about?

“We developed a dual-mode pest detection system that uses both image and sound data to
identify the presence of the Red Palm Weevil — a destructive pest in coconut and date palm
trees. The system enables early detection using both tree surface imagery and internal
acoustic signals.”

🧪 2. Why use a dual-modal approach (image + sound)?

“Relying on just one modality (e.g., image) can lead to false negatives, especially when
infestations are internal. The sound-based detection ensures we can catch early-stage
infestations even when visual signs are absent.”

✅ This complementary detection boosts reliability and early response.

📷 IMAGE-BASED DETECTION

🧩 3. Why did you choose YOLOv11 for image-based detection?

“YOLOv11 is a state-of-the-art real-time object detector with fast inference and high
accuracy. It is well-suited for edge devices and low-latency agricultural monitoring.”

✅ Advantages:

 Real-time detection speed

 High accuracy (96%)
 Works well with small object sizes like boreholes/insect signs

❌ Why not other models like SSD or Faster R-CNN?

Model Reason for Exclusion

Faster R-CNN High accuracy, but slower and not suitable for real-time detection

SSD Good speed but generally less accurate for small objects

YOLOv11 Balances speed and accuracy best for this use case

🎙️ACOUSTIC-BASED DETECTION
🧩 4. How did you process the audio signals?

 Dataset of 53,676 audio samples (WAV format)

 Sample rate: 8000 Hz, mono-channel, 16-bit
 FFT and Spectrogram Analysis used to identify dominant frequency zones:
o RPW sounds mainly in 100–1200 Hz and 100–2500 Hz
 Designed a bandpass filter accordingly to remove noise

“We observed that RPW acoustic energy is concentrated between 100–1200 Hz, which we
isolated to feed the CNN.”

🤖 5. Why use CNN for sound detection?

“Spectrograms are essentially images representing sound. CNNs are highly effective in
extracting spatial patterns from images, making them ideal for detecting audio patterns in
spectrograms.”

❌ Why not RNN or LSTM?

Model Limitation

RNN/LSTM Better for temporal sequence modeling, but not ideal for fixed-size spectrogram images

CNN Fast, efficient, and well-suited for 2D feature maps like spectrograms

🧪 6. How did you evaluate the models?

Modality Model Accuracy Evaluation

Image YOLOv11 96% Precision, Recall, IoU (Intersection over Union)

Sound CNN + filter 97% Confusion matrix, Precision, F1-score

"We cross-validated with annotated datasets and performed tests on new, unseen data
samples from different trees."

💡 7. What is the novelty of your approach?

“Most detection systems use either vision or manual inspection. Our approach is multi-
modal, making it robust even when one data type is missing. It’s also real-time, scalable,
and suited for remote monitoring with IoT integration.”

✅ First of its kind in RPW detection with this dual-modality setup.

🌍 8. Real-world usage

 Integrated with tree-mounted sensors to capture sound and image

 Data sent to cloud/dashboard for farmers or officials to receive alerts
 Potential to integrate into smart agriculture platforms
 Detects RPW early → avoids tree destruction and pesticide overuse

🔄 9. Future Improvements

 Add Edge AI to run YOLO/CNN on Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano

 Integrate mobile notifications for field farmers
 Use LSTM-CNN hybrid for improved acoustic pattern modeling
 Extend to other pests like rhinoceros beetles

detection of Red Palm Weevil (RPW) infestation in coconut/date palm trees by integrating:

 Visual sensors (camera + deep learning)

 Acoustic sensors (microphone + CNN)
 Cloud computing
 Mobile notification system

The goal is to save trees, reduce pesticide use, and empower farmers with AI-driven alerts.

💡 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW

Component Description

Sensors Camera (external infestation signs), Microphone (internal boring sound)

Edge Device Raspberry Pi / Jetson Nano runs YOLOv11 + acoustic CNN model

IoT Gateway Transmits preprocessed results to cloud server

Cloud Backend Stores results, triggers alerts, logs metadata

Mobile App Delivers real-time pest alerts, visual proof, GPS location

🔧 TECHNOLOGIES & ALGORITHMS USED

📷 Visual Detection: YOLOv11

 Why used?
o Fast and accurate for detecting small objects like boreholes or frass on trees
o Lightweight → suitable for edge computing on devices like Raspberry Pi
o Trained on real-world images from infected palm trees
 Why not Faster R-CNN or SSD?
o Faster R-CNN is accurate but too slow for real-time IoT
o SSD is faster than Faster R-CNN but less accurate than YOLOv11 for tiny
objects

🎙️Acoustic Detection: CNN on Spectrograms

 Why CNN?
o Converts filtered audio (100–2500 Hz band) to spectrogram images
o CNN identifies weevil signal patterns with 97% accuracy
 Robust even when infestation isn’t visible
o
 Why not RNN/LSTM?
o Audio was transformed to 2D spectrograms → CNN is optimal
o LSTM would add unnecessary complexity and slower inference on edge
devices
 Preprocessing Steps:
o FFT (Fast Fourier Transform)
o Bandpass Filtering (100–2500 Hz)
o Spectrogram generation (Librosa)
o Feature extraction → CNN input

☁️Cloud & IoT Technologies

Component Tools / Tech

✅ Most existing solutions are manual inspection or single-sensor-based — your system is

autonomous, dual-sensor, and real-time.

📈 OUTCOMES / VALIDATION

 Image-based model (YOLOv11): 96% accuracy

 Audio-based CNN model: 97% accuracy
 Real-world testing: 50+ trees, 95% detection rate in field trials
 Filed for Indian patent (status: pending)

🎯 INTERVIEW QUESTIONS + STRATEGIC ANSWERS

❓ Q1: Why use both audio and visual?

“Because infestation signs are not always visible externally. By using sound, we can detect
RPW boring activity inside the tree before it reaches the surface — enabling early
intervention.”

❓ Q2: Why YOLOv11 and CNN combo?

“YOLOv11 offers real-time image processing with high accuracy, while CNN excels at
recognizing acoustic patterns in spectrograms. Together, they create a fail-safe system.”

❓ Q3: What is the IoT challenge and how did you solve it?

“Latency and power usage are key challenges. We solved this by using on-device processing
with Raspberry Pi, and low-bandwidth MQTT protocols for sending alerts.”

❓ Q4: What is the real-world impact?

“With this system, farmers can be alerted within minutes of pest detection — avoiding full-
blown infestations and saving crop yield.”

❓ Q5: Future roadmap?

 Deploy with solar-powered units for remote fields

 Add GPS mapping of infection clusters
 Use AI to auto-schedule pesticide spraying drones
 Build a regional dashboard for agricultural officers
